WE HAD SEPARATE HOLIDAYS

We had separate holidays,

Because we thought

Absence would make

The heart grow fonder

But when we returned

To our home afterwards

We both wished

We’d stayed away for longer

IF LONELINESS IS YOUR FEAR

 

If loneliness is your fear

There’s no need to shed a tear

For the solution is clear

Just find a love sincere

Someone to hold dear

And watch sadness disappear

THE LOVE THAT DARE NOT SPEAK ITS NAME

 

The love that dare not

Speak its name

For fear of bringing

Upon them, shame

 

Denial of their love

Would be a cruel betrayal

For inside they knew

It was perpetual

 

Try as the families might

It would not be swept

Beneath a convenient carpet

Their bond was kept

 

And when they were safe

Behind a closed door

Their love was expressed

As true lovers adore

YOU VIEW LOVE AS A SNARE

 

You view love as a snare

Of ordinary everyday life

And won’t be trapped into

The ritual taking of a wife

But who will support and

Comfort in times of strife

If you don’t open your heart

To the simple joys of life

TOUCHED BY THE GODDESS

 

Touched by the goddess

Our hearts surrendered

As Venus worked her spell of love

And nothing could break the bond

That fitted us perfectly

Like a hand inside a glove

So strong were the bonds

That entwined our hearts

And held us prisoners of love

Only death could part us

And I am now haunted

By the call of the mourning Dove

WE WERE ONCE INSEPARABLE # 2

 

We were once inseparable

Tied with the bonds of love

But when the day came 

When bonds become restraints

Love melted into the ether

And the ties that bound

Turned inexorably to dust

I LOVED HER SO MUCH

I loved her so much

I forgot about me

I surrendered myself

I just thought about we

 

I loved her so much

I always thought about us

But behind my back

She abused my trust.
